BEFORE THE FLIGHT

If you have heart or lung problems, allergies or types of asthma, check with your doctor before you fly and ask him to fill in the Medical Information Form (MEDIF) not more than 7 days before your departure.

DURING THE FLIGHT

To prevent the minor disturbances that can be caused by variations in altitude, especially during take-off and landing, we suggest you yawn deeply, drink water and chew gum or suck on a candy.

Drink water and avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the flight, get up at regular intervals to stretch your legs and avoid uncomfortable shoes in order to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT syndrome).

JET-LAG

Get a good night’s sleep before your flight to counteract the effects of jet-lag and, if your stay abroad is not more than 2 nights, try to stick to your own normal “biological clock”. If your stay is longer, lead a healthy lifestyle so that you can adapt to the local time as quickly as possible. Keep in mind that jet-lag recovery time tends to be shorter when traveling west.
